Hazardous, clinical and electrical waste

You can donate laptops, smartphones and tablets at any Southwark library or the Southwark Reuse and Recycle Centre.

Community TechAid will securely wipe the data and repair them before donating them to people who are digitally excluded.

You can extend the life of your old items by selling them on the secondhand market in exchange for cash or shop credits.

Find out more about selling your electricals from the Recycle Your Electricals website.

Find someone to repair and extend the life of your old electrical items. You can:

• search the London Repairs
• bring them along to the next Repair Cafe Nunhead

You can recycle anything smaller than a standard microwave like:

• small kitchen appliances like kettles and toasters
• hairdryers, straighteners and curlers
• radios, mp3 players, speakers, CD and DVD players
• small electrical toys
• small DIY tools like drills and sanders
• personal items like clocks and electronic toothbrushes

Take them to

• your nearest electrical recycling bank
• the Southwark Reuse and Recycle Centre

The electrical recycling bank network is expanding! We aim for every resident to be within a 1km of an electrical recycling bank where possible.

For anything bigger than a microwave, like fridges and washing machines, you can:

• book a large waste item collection
• take them to the Southwark Reuse and Recycle Centre
